The VC women's basketball team opened the 2023-24 season with three consecutive victories at the Wild West Shootout at West Los Angeles College in Culver City. At the head of the charge was an unlikely leader in freshman forward Alexa Coubal. The Thousand Oaks High School product and former Notre Dame University track and field athlete has returned to the hardwoods for the first time in eight years and she averaged a team-best 12.7 points and 8.3 rebounds per game. Coubal shot 58 percent from the floor (14-24) and 77 percent from the free throw line (10-13) in the three Pirate triumphs. On Saturday, she was a perfect 7-7 from the floor with a double-double of 19 points and 13 rebounds. Alexa has been selected as this week's VC Pirate Student Athletes of the Week sponsored by M & M Sports.
